It’s actually been a while since we last heard from Singaporean YouTuber Dee Kosh. The last time we heard of him is when he posted a 9-minute video addressing his current situation on his (now-deleted) YouTube channel back in February earlier this year. The YouTuber has actually been publicly accused of sexually harassing minors since February 2017 till August 2020 and things went down hill from there.
Since the first allegations were made, the Singaporean content creator tried to defend himself by posting on Instagram denying certain allegations but admitting to making sexual propositions. He was then charged with multiple offenses including sexual exploitations involving a minor. After 2 long years, the case has finally closed.

Former Radio DJ and online personality Dee Kosh has officially been sentenced to 32 weeks in jail after he was found guilty of multiple offences including the sexual allegations made against him. The 33-year-old posted on his Instagram earlier today (Friday, 5th August) sharing with his fans and followers that he was on his way to go to jail.
“I am extremely sorry for the things I’ve done and now it’s time to pay the price. I lost everything; my career, loved ones, the trust of my family and so much more,” he said. The YouTuber also added that he hopes to pick up the pieces and talk about everything that he’s gone through one day.
Fans and also some of his content creator friends commented on his post with most saying they’ll miss him and wish for him to stay strong during this difficult time. However there were also those who were glad that he’ll be serving his time and made light of his situation.
Here’s a short recap on what happened prior to Dee Kosh’s prison sentence. Instagrammer @_epaul exposed the YouTuber for grooming him under the guise of recruiting him as a talent for his channel. Since then, more people had come forward with similar allegations.
According to The Star, the influencer pleaded guilty to 3 out of 7 charges made against him. The other charges were taken into consideration during his sentencing.
